Memorandum
To: Chief John Hutto
From: Crime Analyst Lori Frank
Subject: Homeless/Transient Calls November 17 – November 30, 2016
Date: December 1, 2016
The below information depicts police contact activity with the homeless/transient population from the two week
period of 11/17/16 – 11/30/16. The data comes directly from the CAD system and is reliant upon the words
homeless or transient noted in the call, or as a TRAN (Transient Contact) call type.
During this period, officers handled 150 transient/homeless related incidents. This translates to an average of 11
calls per day. This number is likely under-represented as there are many other incidents not classified as TRAN, or
have the specific words homeless or transient noted in the call.
Of the 150 calls, the most common types were:
• Welfare Check
• Suspicious Circumstance
• Trespass
• Harassment
The following highlighted call descriptions are representative of the incidents occurring during this time period:
Homicide – 225 W. Harmony Rd.
Dispatch receives a call from a male stating that his friend needs medical attention because he has been beaten
severely. The informant states the victim is just west of the Harmony Max station, in the old lumber storage sheds
for BMC. As officers are responding another informant calls in stating that this is actually a homicide. Officers
arrive and search the sheds locating the victim, who is deceased. It is obvious from the condition of the victim that
this is a homicide. Officers lock down the area and witnesses. A possible suspect is contacted in Old Town and is
brought to the PD for questioning. Criminal Investigations Division (CID) responded to take over the investigation
and are currently interviewing all witnesses and the suspect.
Assault – 316 Jefferson St.
A transient was assaulted by his camp friend, causing serious bodily injury. The suspect confessed to the assault,
but the victim is uncooperative with the investigation.
